Purifying the Air.

II is great mistake that the whole
house, particularly sleeping rooms
and the dining rooms, receive so little
attention in yentilating and purifying
the air, when il can be done with 30
little trouble and no expense. A
pitcher Of cold water placed on n
table OF bureau will absorb all tho
gases with which the room is filed
from the respiration of those eating
or sleeping in the apartment. Very
few realize how important such puri'
iication il for tho health Of the iami-
ly, or indeed understand or realize
that there can DO any impurity in the
rooms, yet in a few hours pitcher
or pail of cold water-the colder the
more effective-will make the air Of
u room pure, bnt the water will be
entirely unfit for use,

In Brief, and TO the Point.

Dyspepsia Is dreadful, Disordercd liver
is misery. Indigestion is n foe TO good ma
ture.
The human digestive apparatus is one of
the most complicated and wonderful things
in existence. 1t is easily put out of order.
Greasy food, tough food sloppy food,
bad cookery, mental worry, late hours If
regular habits, and many other things which
ought not to be, have made the American
people nation of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has done a
wonderful work in reforming this sad bust
ness AMI making the American people so
healthy that they can enjoy their meals and
be happy.s
Remember - No happiness without
health. But Green's August Flower brings
health and happiness to the dyspcptic. Ask
your druggist for bottle. Seventy.iive
